Marathon Charter Prices

Charter prices are for the entire boat, not per person. We can accommodate groups of 1 to 6 anglers aboard Superfish. Prices include all fishing tackle and bait, fishing licenses for the duration of the trip, ice, fish cleaning and more. See details below.

• 1/2-day trip (4 hrs) — $800

• 3/4-day trip (6 hrs) — $1,250

• Full-day trip (8 hrs) — $1,500

• Far Gulf trip (8+ hours) — $1,500 + fuel (typically around $300)

Do you have a larger group? We also operate a 25’ Whitewater center console, Superfish II, to accommodate additional anglers. To accommodate groups that are too big for our two boats, we work closely with several highly regarded Marathon charter operators.

Thinking of staying at Fairfield Inn & Suites in Marathon? Superfish clients get 20% off, and the hotel is just steps from our dock. Check rates and availability using this special link.

A $100 deposit is required to reserve your trip. Deposits can be paid via Venmo, credit card, or check.

Your deposit is refundable if you cancel or reschedule 72 hours or more before your scheduled trip time, except during March, April, May, and June, when a 7-day notice is required.

Deposits are forfeited if you cancel or reschedule your trip less than 72 hours or 7 days (March, April, May, June) of your scheduled trip time.

If we cancel your trip due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances, we will work with you to reschedule as soon as possible. If we can’t reschedule, your deposit will be refunded.

All trips include the following:

• Fishing licenses for all anglers for the duration of the trip

• Top-quality tackle, lures, and bait

• Ice and use of an on-board cooler for your drinks and food

• Filleting and bagging your catch

• Fuel (except on Far Gulf trips and other specially arranged long-distance trips)

• Convenient free parking

Additional costs include:

• Vacuum-packing and freezing your catch — $3/lb. Filleting and bagging of your catch for transport in a cooler is included. If you would like to vaccum-seal and freeze your catch, we charge $3/lb. Vacuum-sealed and frozen fish is suitable for air travel (check with your airline for details) and lasts longer in the freezer.

• Gratuity — percentage of your charter cost. Tipping your captain and mate is not required but greatly appreciated. Tip amounts for charter fishing are similar to those for servers — 15 to 20% is customary and 25% recognizes exceptional service. Your captain and mate split any gratuity received.

The only things you really have to have on your charter trips are food, drink, and appropriate clothing. We recommend:

• A wide-brimmed hat or baseball hat for sun protection

• Good-quality polarized sunglasses

• Plenty of sunscreen

• Snacks and lunch

• Plenty of drinking water

• Additional drinks. You’re welcome to bring your choice of beverage on board. Please don’t bring glass containers, though.

• Food and drink cooler. You’re welcome to put your drinks and food in one of our coolers, but many guests prefer to bring their own small to medium-sized cooler.

• Fish cooler. If you plan to take fish home with your, please bring your own cooler to put them in after they’re filleted. It’s a good idea to throw some ice in your fish cooler in the morning to keep it from getting too hot sitting in your car.

• Summer clothing. Summer days in the Keys are hot and humid. Wear lightweight, quick-drying pants or shorts and long-sleeved, lightweight shirts. Sudden afternoon rains aren’t uncommon, so consider bringing a raincoat.

• Winter clothing. Even in winter, our average highs are in the high 70s to low 80s. But with the wind, it’s always cooler on the water, so bring warmer clothing than you think you’ll need. Bring a raincoat or shell to break the wind and dress in layers that you can peel off as the day warms up.

• Shoes. We strongly recommend closed-toe shoes. Between hooks, knives, gaffs, and toothy fish on deck, offshore fishing in sandals can be dangerous. Please avoid shoes with soft, dark soles, like hiking shoes.
